AppImage: set a single QtWebEngineProcess path - #5133
Merged

Conversation
QTWEBENGINEPROCESS_PATH is read by Qt as one file path, not a colon-separated list, so the two-entry value made every AppImage abort with "Could not find QtWebEngineProcess" as soon as the Online Queries dialog was opened. Point each recipe at the location the binary actually has inside the AppDir. Fixes Stellarium#4899 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>

Thanks. Looks reasonable to me, but I cannot test atm. Any word from @t4saha ? |

Description
Qt reads
QTWEBENGINEPROCESS_PATHas a single file path, not as a colon-separated list. Since d9d56d5 (part of #4405) both AppImage recipes set it to two paths joined by:. Qt treats that whole string as one path, can't find a file there, and aborts withCould not find QtWebEngineProcessas soon as the Online Queries dialog is opened.This PR sets each recipe back to a single path. I used the path where the binary actually is in the 26.2 AppImages (
--appimage-extract+find):usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/libexec/QtWebEngineProcessusr/lib/qt6/libexec/QtWebEngineProcessFixes #4899
Type of change
How Has This Been Tested?
I didn't rebuild the AppImages. I tested the released
Stellarium-26.2-qt5/qt6-x86_64.AppImagein a GitHub Actions job on my fork (ubuntu-22.04, Xvfb, Mesa llvmpipe). The job extracts each AppImage and runs it twice with a startup script that enables Online Queries and opens its dialog. The first run uses the shippedAppRun.env. The second run changes only theQTWEBENGINEPROCESS_PATHline to the single path from this PR.[467.943][FATAL] Could not find QtWebEngineProcess, abort (exit 134)QtWebEngineProcessstarted fromusr/lib/qt6/libexec, no crash[763.275][FATAL] Could not find QtWebEngineProcess, abort (exit 134)QtWebEngineProcessstarted fromusr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/libexec, no crashThe timestamps are high because of software rendering in CI. Both "single path" runs were ended by my job's timeout while still running. They did not exit on their own.
Runs: qt6, qt5. Logs are attached to each run as artifacts.
